5 upcoming pop-up sales that should be on your radar

Yep, Halloween is over, and that means it’s basically holiday season. If you’re ready to get your shop on (for yourself or others), the next few weeks are loaded with fun events with a holiday spin. Here’s where you should definitely stop.

Moth Oddities have returned from Italy

Troviamo! An Italian Pop-Up
The duo behind local vintage vendors Moth Oddities recently spent a few weeks in Italy collecting vintage items, and they brought things back to sell exclusively to you at their Troviamo! pop-up sale at Duke Albert in Northeast. According to the event page, the pop-up features “high-end labels and unique items that you can’t find here in the States.” Sounds like a can’t-miss!

MCAD Art SaleOne of my favorite yearly events is the MCAD Art Sale, where MCAD students sell their work at can’t-beat-‘em prices. You can pay for early access on the first two days of the sale, but the final Saturday is free. Pick up prints for gifts or home décor and support local artists in the process. (Thursday, November 15, through Saturday, November 17. Prices and hours vary. MCAD, 2501 Stevens Square, Minneapolis)
